It's about time we start getting some "glasnost" and "perestroika" in our government and the executive branch .

T-0 days, Obama's in (closing thoughts) wrote:

I am still not sure I am convinced it's not one in the same. I'll address this as well, in my parting thoughts. Look for it. Perhaps tomorrow or the next day. Or the day after that. I need to rest now. After that, my pixels will be a scarcity on this blog. You are well-advised to act accordingly.

1. Relevance? 2. Relevance? 3. Currently unavailable? 4. Relevance? 5. Currently unavailable? Requested by anyone yet? 6. Relevance - also Presidents recieve regular fitness evaluations and the general results are public. 7. Private??? These should be public record. 8. This should be protected information - his clients have a privacy right regardless of his new job. 9. Crackpot theory. 10. PUBLISHED and not private. Stop being lazy and paranoid. 11. You can't count. 12. Again, if the articles were PUBLISHED they are already available. Stop being lazy and paranoid.

No articles were published - that is presumably the point. None at Harvard (0) and none at Uof C (0). If you include the ghost writing of the first book by Bill Ayers, there has been nothing published at all except for the second book - and there is nothing in that.
Obama's sense of trans[arency is to discuss with RE whether he broke the law in his dealings with Blago, and then take for granted that he is telling the truth. There's agood chance that that form of transparency - which requires self-admission of illegal condult by the perps themselves - will not work well in an administration of tax cheats and pay-to-play experts.

Really dumb. He is releasing state secrets just like Clinton. China and other countries are relishing looking through papers the will be released by Obama.

When Clinton first became president, he was stupid enough to release state secrets through the release of presidential records, etc. (Clinton released classified information on spy satellites and specific unmentionable satellites) Thankfully, President Bush quickly fixed the problem.

Simply, Obama is proving he is just another dumb Clinton. Clinton made national security worse. And economically, Clinton was lucky he happened to be in office during the internet boom. Obama wont have that luck.

Comment by Olama. Of course, he is doing the same thing Clinton did. He has the same decision-making body. Changes? Nothing will change for the better.

Now online, the Wire provides a succession of glimpses at what’s happening behind hot stories and warnings of what to watch for in the days ahead. The Wire is led by Reid J. Epstein, with contributions from the rest of the bureau. Washington Wire now also includes Think Tank, our home for outside analysis from policy and political thinkers.
